Well actually, when I was playing the level in front of the Reichstag on veteran no less, my bro did start playing Billie Jean. It was hilariously surreal to say the least.xmetatr0nx said:
i was trying to find the article on it but i couldn't, someone did a study on the listening habits of geeks, specifically coders and gamers, and they did find that most of them listened to metal, industrial and classical
now there's a few reasons for this. first and foremost it's the construction of the songs themselves. those 3 genres tend to have overly complex songs, lyrically and musically. so that is one of the draws for why they liked it, it got their brain thinking and kept it active trying to follow the various melodies and harmonies found in the songs.
secondly with the metal and industrial crowds they tend to be more accepting of everyone no matter what. to get a look at the metal scene watch "Metal a Headbangers Journey" and "Global Metal" and do it in that order cause Global Metal won't make much sense cause he refers to the first movie a few times. so having a crowd that is willing to accept you and like having you around is very appealing. i mean at most metal shows if someone looks at you odd, just toss up the horns and say "WOOOOOOO" or something similar and they won't try to kick your ass and might offer you some beer. mmmmmm beer
there is also the fact that metal has a great driving force behind it and is more aggressive than other forms of music. this lends itself to getting your blood pumping and moving and wanting to do something. it also gets the adrenaline pumping in your system
as good as the original Public Enemy version of "Bring the Noise" is, it just doesn't get the blood pumping as much as the version they did with Anthrax.
there is also the lyric content of metal as well. a lot of metal songs tend to be about killing and battle and drinking and other such activities. so i think it will put you more in a mood to go kill stuff than a lot of other music does

Is metal dominant? I always hear douchebags playing rap over the mic. Thank god for the mute button.
Hmmm, it's been a long time, and I tend to listen to mainly underground and obscure subgenres like Jazz rap and others(I seem to abuse one section, then move on, moving back every now and then), but I think this should cover it.Wizzie said:

Cypress Hill, Nate Dogg, 213 and Warren G are commonly associated with G-Funk, they would be your ticket.
EDIT: BAH NINJA! I'll get you yet!!!
